Software development can involve several developers simultaneously working on program code to create a single piece of software. But if multiple developers simultaneously modify the same program code for the piece of software, changes by some of the developers may be erased or overwritten. To prevent this and other issues, developers can receive a copy of the program code from a central repository and store the copy of the program code in another location, such as on a local computer. The central repository can store a master copy (e.g., a fully updated or tested copy) of the program code. The developers can then each make updates to the respective copies of the program code without affecting the work performed by the other developers.
